Change Management & Impact Analysis

Software changes impact not only source code, but also runtimes, build pipelines, and supply-chain trust.

Principles

No Blind Upgrades: Newer releases are not adopted merely because they exist; stability and compatibility are proven first.
Workflow Impact Analysis: Changes to runtimes, tools, or dependencies require impact analysis across all downstream workflows.
Incremental Rollout: Large refactors and dependency upgrades are decoupled into verifiable stages.
